The female driver in the car saw his signal and pulled out, I thought about doing the same thing but something told me not to go because it could be a false turn, it was and he had to hit the brakes hard to keep from rearending the car, had I pulled out I probably would have been like one of those flat animals that live in the middle of the road. Can't trust turn signals, better to wait until they actually make the turn. |
Big rigs do not have self canceling turn signels, when they are "bob tailing" (no trailor) they are hard to stop. When I started driving the big ones I got a new respect for them, I look out for them much more than I did.
